You just need to boil water and condense and collect the steam somewhere else. It is the condensing and collecting the steam that is the tricky part, and they make chemical glassware specifically designed to do this efficiently. Without this glassware, it would be very hard to distill water on a large scale (more than a liter of water would be very difficult for instance).

Why is distillation used in chemistry?

>to get a pure sustance (such as water from sea water) >to separate alcohol from water to make distilled spirits such as vodka, >to extract essential oils from plants >to divide crude oil into all of its different components (paraffin, tar, and all of the other substances used as fuel that are extracted)


What is distillation and where is it used?

Distillation is evaporating a liquid and collecting the condensed form. It is used to purify water and make liquids pure and to also separate a mixture, for example, get salt from salt water and have then in separate containers. People in wineries use it to make alcohol stronger.


What is the distillation of water and ink useful for?

Not a lot. But distillation is used to separate the components of a mixture. A scenario where distillation of urine for example is useful is if you are stranded in a desert. You can find a way to distill your urine so that the water in it evaporates and condenses so that you have pure drinkable water... Distillation of ink however is not very useful unless you wanted to identify different parts of ink


What are the uses of distillation?

Distillation is used to separate pure water from a thicker liquid substance, such as ink. It does this by heating the water, which then evaporates and rises, leaving the ink. It then travels down a tube, surrounded by a condenser which changes it from water vapor back to water, and then it falls into a beaker at the other end.


Uses of simple distillation?

Distillation is a method in chemistry to separate substances from a mixture according to their level of vitality. some examples of distillation are alcohol distillery, distilled water, production of gasoline, paraffin, kerosene etc.


How is distillation the same as evaporation?

Distillation is the boiling of a liquid of mixed components. eg. salt water. The vapour is passed though a cooling tube and the pure water is seperated from the salt. Salt water eg oceans experience evaporation at a slow natural rate forming mostly clouds of pure water that then fall to earth as pure drinkable water.


What is the method to separate pure water in salt water solution?

One method to separate pure water from a saltwater solution is through distillation. This involves heating the solution to create steam, then collecting and condensing the steam back into water, leaving the salt behind. Another method is reverse osmosis, where pressure is used to force water molecules through a semipermeable membrane, leaving the salt particles behind.
